Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups quinoa

Instructions

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the garlic is just browned.
• Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the broth is boiling, add the quinoa and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing the quinoa with a fork. This will help to separate the grains and make the quinoa light and fluffy.
• Serve the garlic quinoa immediately. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.
